"Click..."

A rapid sound of horses' hooves shattered the tranquility of the early morning in Yangzhou, and the two fast horses did not stop until they reached the yamen of Yangzhou Mansion.

"There is a holy decree!"

"Huai'an urgent!"

The two knights were not from the same place, and the knight who reported the news from Huai'an could say that the holy decree would be delivered in this situation, which really shocked people's jaws.

Soon a guard brought the two in, Ye Xun got up early at this time, today's report about the Huai'an civil uprising is the third time, and Ye Xun has basically known what happened over there.

After the knight who delivered the holy decree handed over the letter box he was carrying behind him to Ye Xun, he was taken down by the guards to rest.

This is a decree drafted by Ye Xun to the cabinet, and then stamped by Mu Zheng, the content of the decree is to order Ye Xun to temporarily control the military affairs of the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

In fact, Ye Xun has to thank this sudden civil uprising, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to remind him to seize power in this way!

The knight who reported the latest battle situation in Huai'an was left behind by Ye Xun, and ordered someone to bring him a bowl of hot soup to drink before letting him narrate the matter.

"Father-in-law, Hou Wu and other White Lotus rebels have no intention of breaking through at present, and according to the news from the brothers who infiltrated the city, there are only more than 3,000 rebels, most of whom are homeless people who have been coerced, and General Lu is sure that he will fight..."

As Ye Xun expected before, the year before last, there was a big flood in Lianghuai, and although the imperial court allocated disaster relief money and food, after layers of exploitation, there was almost nothing left in the hands of the people, so there would be a large number of homeless homeless people.

Huai'an and Yangzhou are close at hand, one is heaven, but the other seems to be in hell.

The early disaster relief was unfavorable, and it coincided with the Emperor Sanyi of the imperial court, so no one cared about the affairs of the two Huai victims, which finally led to today's disaster.

Inciting the hearts of the people has always been the best thing for the White Lotus Sect, and the displaced people and the backbone of the White Lotus Sect have also built the skeleton of the rebels.

It's just that there are only more than 3,000 rebels, and Huai'an is surrounded by imperial army gatherings, according to normal circumstances, this group of rebels either breaks through as soon as possible, or scatters and flees, anyway, they shouldn't play this trick.

If something is abnormal, it must be a demon!

After ordering someone to bring the knight who delivered the letter down to rest, Ye Xun sat on the chair and muttered for a while, and suddenly snorted coldly.

Lao Tzu's army is in hand, what kind of demon does he care?

Thinking of this, he said sharply: "Someone come, in the name of the military eunuchs of the four provinces of the governor of Qin, summon the commanders of the guards in Nanjing to come to discuss the matter, and the military law will be engaged in those who are late!" ”

After giving this order, Ye Xun once again sent an order to Lu Chun to surround and not fight this rebel army, so as to prevent them from fleeing in all directions.

Now this rebel army has become a bait for Ye Xun, and Ye Xun wants to use this bait to completely control the military power of the guards in Jiangnan.

Feeling that the five hundred people around him were too few, Ye Xun had already ordered An Wanshan to lead three thousand Liaodong troops to the south quickly.

An Wanshan is a general promoted by Ye Xun in Tieling, he is low-key, loyal to Ye Xun, has been in command of the Yongzi battalion of the Liaodong Army, and is currently in charge of the training of soldiers in the Beijing camp.

After arranging these, Ye Xun was still a little uneasy, this was purely an intuition, Xiang Biao's further report had not yet been delivered, Ye Xun was not an immortal, and he couldn't be an unpredictable prophet at all.

Taibai Building, which is said to be the best restaurant in Yangzhou, seems to be the name Taibai is about to be used by the merchants, and the slightly similar restaurants are willing to give this name, as if it is not so, it is not enough to show the difference of the restaurant.

The place where Shen Changshan made an appointment for Ye Xun to meet the salt merchants was set here.

If Ye Xun was just an ordinary little eunuch, these salt masters in Yangzhou would not care about Ye Xun at all.

It must be said that the officials at all levels of the dynasty are still relatively sound, and the salt industry, as an important financial income of the state, is not only managed by special officials, but even sent eunuchs to supervise it.

However, after Ye Xun abolished the celebrant eunuch, he removed all the eunuchs from all over the town, and all the salt taxes were assigned to the household department, and the eunuchs no longer had any authority here.

But these salt merchants, who are not the ones with their hands and eyes? He also maintains a close relationship with the bigwigs in Beijing, so how can he not know who Ye Xun is?

Even if Ye Xun didn't look for them, they still thought about how to get in touch with Ye Xun, so after hearing that Ye Xun was going to feast on them, they all looked like they were riding rockets, for fear that they would come later than others.

As soon as noon passed, the restaurant began to clear the venue, and individual customers were not accepted, even so, when Ye Xun came, thirty or forty gorgeously dressed men still filled the hall on the first floor of the restaurant.

It's not how burly these people are, but they all squeezed to the door, and they all refused to fall behind, so they almost collapsed the door of the restaurant.

"Father-in-law Ye, I have admired the name for a long time, this is the villain's name!"

"Father-in-law Ye, this is a little bit of the villain's heart, and I hope that my father-in-law will accept it with a smile!" ...

The scene was noisy, and it was almost a vegetable market.

Seeing this, Shen Changshan, who came with Ye Xun, frowned, and said loudly: "Don't be impatient, everyone, there will be time for you to introduce yourself, what kind of system are you crowded here?" ”

Hearing Shen Changshan say this, the salt merchants made way of a passage.

Ye Xun smiled and clenched his fists and arched his hand around, and was about to walk inside, when he suddenly felt someone pulling him, and turned his head to look, but it was the small basket behind him.

In order to avoid inconvenience, Xiao Luo dressed up as a handsome scholar and followed Ye Xun's side.

Among the women around Ye Xun, Xiao Xun has always been the most humble, never disturbing Ye Xun, and never asking for anything, just standing behind Ye Xun like a shadow.

looked at his eyes all around, but he didn't want Xiao Luo to pull himself at this time, Ye Xun knew that Xiao Luo must have something to say.

I was about to ask what was wrong, but I saw Xiao Luo's eyes looking across the street, and following Xiao Luo's gaze, I saw two women on the other side of the street, one big and one small, the big one was about forty, and her eyes wandered, and at first glance she was not a good person, the younger one was only three or four years old, and there was a straw stuck in her collar.

Ye Xun understood, this is selling children, but looking at it like this, the little girl is not like that woman's child.

Thinking of Xiao Luo's life experience, Ye Xun suddenly understood what she wanted to do, patted Xiao Luo's arm, and said softly: "Go ahead!" Do whatever you want."

A grateful look flashed in Xiao Luo's eyes, and he walked quickly across the street.

Ye Xun and Xiao Luo's actions all fell in the eyes of the salt merchants, looking at Xiao Luo's handsome appearance, everyone seemed to have an understanding, and secretly thought about the gift they had prepared for Ye Gonggong before, I was afraid that they would have to change it.

In the midst of the praise, Ye Xun was invited to the second floor by the salt merchants like the stars holding the moon, and after sitting on the main seat, all kinds of delicacies and delicacies were also served up like flowing water.

To be considered the best restaurant in Yangzhou, it naturally has its own uniqueness, not to mention the dishes, the decoration of the restaurant is extremely elegant and luxurious, the walls are full of poems and famous sentences inscribed by celebrities, if you don't have wine and food, it is easy for people to think of this as a classroom.

The maids who served the wine and food were also beautiful women, and for a while, they were only dazzled by the warbler and Yanyan.

Before the banquet began, another carriage stopped downstairs, and then a middle-aged scribe in his thirties, slender and elegant, stepped out of the carriage...
